Jeff has been such a great coach to me and I'll never forget all the effort he put into the program!

Jeff Did an outstanding job and keeps the student in mind. WE refused to go to others because of their cost and lack of professionalism. I sure hope that this wasn’t a witchhunt designed to get rid of Jeff Clark by the competition.

Myself and many others in the Wichita tennis community witnessed the positive effect that Jeff has had on Riverside Tennis Center. Including the 2011 upgrades, repairs, and Grand-reopening, to implementation of children’s tennis programs, to tennis demonstrations at various civic venues, to further development of adult tennis lessons, drills, and leagues, to additional opportunities for wheelchair tennis athletes, to development of junior tennis lessons and tournaments, and for hosting local tennis tournaments. And this list is not all inclusive of the positive impacts Jeff has had. Since Jeff’s removal, there has been an obvious decrease in the use of the Riverside Tennis facility, particularly in the areas of junior tennis group and individual lessons, and adult drills and lessons. Many patrons of the facility – myself included – hope to see these services restored, and Jeff is the person to do so.

Riverside was a vibrant and successful part of the Wichita community and it can be again if Jeff comes back. Until then, I and others have decided our money and time will support private facilities and not ICT.

Riverside Tennis Center is adrift right now. You need to bring back Jeff Clark to right the ship and get back on course again. I've experienced confusion in reserving courts, very poor lighting in the bubble and the sense that no one is in charge. This is not what it was like when Jeff was there. I've been around tennis for many years and I can tell you Jeff is an outstanding pro. One of the best. We were lucky to have him at a public facility.

Jeff is exceptional! PLEASE BRING HIM BACK!!! Both my teenage boys took lessons there until he was let go. Both my kids thrived under his guidance and it helped them build character and self confidence! I was also planning to start lessons, but lost all my nerve to because Jeff is gone. The community desperately needs fun places for kids, teens, moms and dads, grandparents, etc.. Having Jeff makes Riverside AWESOME!

I’ve played at riverside for about two years, I took private lessons, play in a small tournament, and did groups play, jeff was the director the whole time I was there , even more he was a phenominal coach, he tended to his students and took care of everyone like a big community, I believe no one will be able to pull off the job he had, as he did a great job and he had a lot of work all day most days of the week

Jeff has been a mentor and coach for my daughter Carly and a friend of my entire family. We would not even consider returning to a Riverside facility that was not run and managed by Jeff. Bring back Jeff Clark IMMEDIATELY!

My husband and I were just discussing taking lessons there but we won't do so if Jeff isn't a part of it.

BRING JEFF CLACK BACK! He has had a positive impact on my tennis career and I wouldn't trade it for anything. Jeff is a class act and truly cares about every individual that he teaches.

Jeff Clark deserves an opportunity to return to RTC if he so desires based on his tireless work building the tennis program and bringing it to prominence. Since the departure, the level of participation has declined considerably and the the upkeep of the facilities has been in disarray. Please provide the support needed to allow an affordable public tennis program that the community deserves. - Joe Gonzales
